I got tons of hits. I used the top secret trick of incompleteness in my ad. I used up all my money in a few hours so I increased to $25 a day. The ad ran for 3 days and I never made a sale. Ugh!. $63.85 spent on ads and no takers.
Learnings and observations:
Start ad Thursday night:
Write a blog post about my first campaign (I did get 19 hits from my blog post over the weekend)
increase daily to $25
watch people click away. pay as high as $3.80 a click. still no sales.
1) One of my “facebook Friends” also writes a blog post about this hot new gas saving product using HHO fuel cell technology also called water fuel cell on his blog on Monday the 7th and sends the notice out to his facebook group, that I belong to.
2) I get an email from Chris Carpenter, a old trusted emailer from long ago, about a cool adwords product just about to come out. I watched the video and OMG it was Chris X demonstrating how he just made $42,386 in the last so many days selling the exact same product. water4gas. He had the number one spot for the last 30 days and was killing it. he had the good keywords and was getting as high as 8% conversion on some keywords. I did see his sales drop off over the 4th of July weekend to about $400 a day in sales (So I picked a lousy weekend to start).
I felt good that I used my own brain and learnings and ran a campaign. (never studyied adwords before, I just picked it up from Frank Kern Mass Control Videos)
I felt good that someone I respected copied my idea and promoted it to my friends.
I felt really good that Chris X was killing it on my idea and that I was competing with the all time top affiliate seller on clickbank.
Learnings:
1) spend more time on keywords – Chris has done testing to find the best one and used his unique tool
2) collect email addresses before sending to the affiliate link if possible. (I am not doing it just yet)
3) watch your campaign to be sure to turn it off if it is not working.
4) review sites seem to do better that one trick pony sites
5) buy ChrisX’s product to help with review site plug and play, keyword picker tool, top things to do and Not do… I suggest you buy it from me now and get the learnings and then ask for a refund before the 56 day return policy expires if you do not want to keep it. the price is very low and it is going up tomorrow or Friday so buy it now if you want it.
For anyone that buys from my link, I will send you a special report on how to search out the keywords for your campaign or offer a free 1 hour phone consultation on the topic of your choice. just email me your receipt after you buy it from me at my link here.
I have a few other really good new tips and tricks to share and they will go out on my first ever email autoresponder series. So, the only way to get it is to sign up for my newsletter.
